I saw the reply and it was not much but he gave a decent hit off the play when the player was not ready for it. Could get a week for it.

This kid is big, he loves himself and he is arrogant. People behind the scenes say he is arrogant very confident, but by god I love it. No one else did anything last night but he tried to enforce physical presence on the field and we needs more kids like him. Enough of this crap being pushed around by other teams.

I only seen it the one time and did not think there was much in it.

Then genius Quarterofabrain starts up with his "I think he could be in trouble," and then mentioned more crap later in the game.

Just venting, but I cannot stand that bloke.

Thankyou, rant over.

The general opinion :)

Quarterbrain is an idiot and I'm happy to see all of the TV rights go to Seven so that I don't have to listen to him.

Bull will be incredibly unlucky to get a week.

...unlike Jones, the bloke Tappy hit didn't stay down like he got shot.

Hope you're not inferring Jones took a dive. If Jones stays down, you can be certain he has been hurt... don't forget, he's the guy that wanted to get back on the field after breaking a bone in his back last year. Pity we don't have a few more as hard as he is.

If Daniel Jackson can get a week for a deliberate elbow to a guys head with his bad record Tapscott will probabaly get 2 weeks! Really nothing in it and just a typical overreaction from a commentator.

I am all for protecting players but if he gets cited it just goes to show how over the top the system is getting.

On a side note, how did Scarlett even get cited last week for a legitimate spoil. He smashed the guy in the process, fairly, but cos it looked rough we better look at it. So annoying how you cannot touch anybody these days without giving away a free kick or being reported.

Cant stand Quarterbrain

Josh Kennedy for WCE did the same thing last year in a NAB Challenge match against us and bumped Sylvia and broke his jaw.

I remember how they didnt capture the footage of the bump, so Kennedy got off suspension, then a couple days later the footage of the incident was released. Bizarre!

If Tappy gets weeks just shows how screwed up the AFL tribunal is.

The hit was just as bad, if not worse than Rioli's hit on Jones - which he copped a week for. Might be lucky that unlike Jones, the bloke Tappy hit didn't stay down like he got shot.

Are you serious? Rioli used his fist and punched Jones in the ribs whilst not in play.

Rioli wanted to hurt Jones. Tapscott wanted to block.

Nothing in it at all.

He laid a bump that was 100% legitimate in football in every way except it was more than 5 meters away from the ball at the time (say 10 m). As a result it probably should have been a free kick. All this talk about low/medium/reckless/intentional etc only applies if he commits a reportable act. In this case the contact was legal so none of these apply.

If you applied those things to every contest in the game people would be reported all the time. Think a typical high tackle - high contact, reckless action, low impact. Everyone would get 70 points every week just for turning up.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
